January Birthday Party for a girl who's 10!

Family Dinner at The Melting Pot
 Really, did my BABY, my youngest, have to turn 10?
If you still have toddlers or babies that probably sounds old.
If your children are in college or getting married, 10 is still
a baby! I can't believe all my children have hit double digits.


 Today is the party with her friends ~
It was inspired by our trip to The Drake over the holidays for a High Tea. 
It was a special "girl event" with my sisters, mom and my daughters.
(my sisters don't have children)

my sister and my 2 girls

inspiration yum


As you can tell, they didn't have any fun!


Back to today's party with 4 special friends. 
The menu:  petit fours, brownies, fruit parfaits, pink raspberry lemonade,
hot chocolate, pretzels, chicken salad sandwiches and roast beef sandwiches.


Who says January has to be blah?
I went for lots of color, even if it is 17 degrees outside!

There are also tea cookies, meringue cookies, tiny chocolate covered biscuits,
sparkling soda, and chocolate covered sesame seeds.


 Lots of colorful straws, daisies, umbrellas, pinwheels...



 I am off to make the sandwiches while my husband has taken the girls to see 
The Muppet Movie ~ Have a great weekend!

So sweet! Hope she had a fabulous day! My oldest baby will be turning 10 in the fall ~ I can't believe it either!
